**Choosing the right spots for your climbing plants:** When planting a climber, consider how much sun or shade they will receive. Sun-loving climbers in shady spots will bolt to the top and leave the fence bare. The best choice for shady fences is fragrant star jasmine (*Trachelospermum jasminoides*), pictured above. Other shade lovers are climbing hydrangea (*Hydrangea petiolaris*), creeping fig and ivy.
